The USB-KEY is automatically mounted as a VFAT file-system on an
OpenSuse 11.1

One example (among a great number ...)
Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9.3pm

question 1 : Is it "normal" ?
question 2 : How to deal with that ?

Thanks to you in advance !

Hi
Question 1 Yes
Question 2 You will have to use
\'s eg;
Code:
cp Moose\:\:Cookbook\:\:Basics\:\:Recipe9.3pm /media/someusbdevice/
